8:37 am
while the sfpd and the district attorney's office working closely together there are challenges when it comes to data sharing forensic criminal imagination all the crime data warehouse are manually entered typed into under our system in order for the district attorney's office to assess sometimes it takes several days or up to a couple of weeks more information to transfer from the sfpd to the district attorney's office due to the old systems we're using this is alarming thankfully a coordinated group that works on this issue the justice that's a great question information system program justice brings together the mayor's office the zoning administrator the the adult
8:38 am
operation and district attorney and police, public defender's office and sheriff's and status of women and the court and the technology to integrate all the criminal justice case management systems and to replace the cable c m a application system that's why i'll collin u call for a hearing calling on the departments involved in justice to understand obvious information sharing works with the public safety department and perhaps learning more about the way we share the data across the public safety departments in san francisco i hope we can maximum our matters to efficiently combat the crime to make sure we're being efficient with the dollars the other resolution that i
8:39 am

8:41 am
resolution urging the police commission to convene a workforce for the police staffing and deployment i've been in discussion with the police commissioners building that task will fit into their mission earlier this year the analyst produced a report for the conclusions of the police staffing is not on population loan this task force will help to identify and implement a comprehensive multi disciplinary approach to determine the staffing levels bans different factors with the studies on calls for service, crime data, officer workload and population size i believe that the task force were to have a difference cross section of experts including the san francisco police department command staff and other stakeholders it is
8:42 am
challenging to recruit for officers the reality the work is changing and as such we need to be initiative and flexibility about you way we approach public safety in our city at the police commission finalize the search for a new police chief we can have staffing for employment the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor yee and supervisor avalos. >> thank you, madam clerk colleagues yes. i have two months and 7 days left in office and i'll be talking about my work in the district as we get towards the end of my time on the board i do want to highlight some of the work around community development especially bringing about community assets there are two affordable housing projects each one unit each of that are in the
8:43 am
pipeline district 11100 percent affordable housing two community gardens and one community farm that are in the works was able to get the san francisco credit union to come to the corner of mission district a huge great asset to bring into the neighborhood they've opened up hundreds of counts for balboa high school students and around the corner are two buildings that unfortunately, i want able to get on the ballot so i'll have a hearing on the status of those buildings and how we are working on this to activating the sites and those buildings have an tremendous amount of history and be able to preserve that history by landmarking the buildings and one of the buildings was the
8:44 am
site of some labor thinking rest people are occupied the building for thirty days to keep the building active as a public health department facility and the other has a mural that was built or painted frisco before the frisco at coit tower so i'll be calling for a hearing to fascist those a lot of the help from john updyke and others to bring those buildings up to code originally they were about $2 million plus we now have an establishment that is doable to help the key establishments to be working 415 an update on the geneva carbarn not able to get that on the ballot but want to
8:45 am
hear with the rec and park department is doing to be able to activate that site this one has taken munltd times coming to the board of supervisors and expenditures we've you approved and worked the rec and park department to identify bonds fund spent to be used for the building every time we get close to having something ready to make that building a reality something else happens but before i leave office i want to make sure we have a hearing on both of those on the jennifer carbarn to get those projects really in the pipeline and moving forward for whoever comes after me to take my practices on the board of supervisors and want to create a in memoriam for alex he was killed in on
8:46 am
officer-involved shooting in march of 2014. >> i actually worked with alex when i was at the children advocates and youth he was a young man and always was around the excelsior by the director the bernal heights contaminate and this was a huge loss for the city but alex was a native son that who's whole life around the mission and bernal heights a tragic and violent death should be marked part of history of bernal and also part of daily experience of his parents who go everyday to the hill to pray the site where alex was killed and so i have an ordinance that would direct the rec and park
8:47 am
department to establish an memorial to mark what happened also to bring part of community together that feels strongly about marking the spot and effort to recognize that what has happened and restore justice to a place that is harmed in part of the healing process and so not a lot of time to run through the board of supervisors i'm hoping that if we need to request that we can waiver the thirty day rule on this i also want to thank my co-sponsors madam chair rosales and supervisor mar and supervisor cowen i think i asked our offices if you want to co-sponsor i'll appreciate that and those items for introduction thank you. >> thank you supervisor avalos. >> supervisor president london breed. >> submit. >> thank you supervisor campos. >> thank you, madam clerk like to simply add my support for the
8:48 am

8:49 am
and it is an opportunity for everyone in the community to come together and that's the spirit in which this is introduced and i hope that that is the spirit in which this process go forward i want to say it is not just about city hall in the process but city hall doing this in a way that involves the community and that's the way we are intending to approach that and i think this is yet another example of a tragedy being used in a positive way to bring the city together the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor campos and supervisor cowen. >> but i'm going to submit today. >> thank you supervisor cowen. >> supervisor mar i asked to be referred. >> colleagues, i mend a couple of events from the richmond district the memorial for thomas

before we get to supervisor farrell deputy city attorney disabling in her and the reason i bring up this point i understand the point that supervisor peskin is making around the asking for excused for a particular item i know as a former commission items an appearance whether or not i've wanted to be excused or not sometimes you will take the high road and ask to be excused is just to avoid the appearance defibrillating e mr. gibner in a person of board of supervisors requests and opportunity to be excuses excused from a particular vote their, their prerogative. >> supervisors must vote on all items unless protected by a
9:32 am
legal conflict or the board votes to excuse them from voting on that item. in this case i believe that in the short-term rentals related ordinances supervisor farrell has requested to be excused not because he has a legal issue but to avoid any legal issues >> supervisor farrell. >> thank you supervisor president breed my ongoing request to be recused a separate investment in an unrelated area of airbnb they're involved in the short-term rental and avoid do appearance of conflict no technical one i don't have to very any reason to have any potential conflict or potential there have so i want to recuse myself. >> supervisor peskin would you like us to do a voerment.
